This is more funny than it is offensive...
It's just like he took someone else's text ad and pasted it into his. But the pictures tell the full story anyway, he even provided convenient close-ups that obviously contradict the description. 
Can't really claim he's hiding anything like those distant pics with glass on.
This is just like importing pinball machines from Europe, which we've been doing by the container load out here. Descriptions always sound great, but then you see the pictures.
Of course the LED job is "tastefully done"... to your specific taste... But pictures tell the story anyway, just more funny than offensive.
This ad would have been perfect for April 1.
Quoted from CaptainNeo:Makes the game difficult to be used for what it was designed for. Anytime color LED's are used in GI's. The art turns to mush and the human eye has trouble following a silver ball in monochromatic lighting.
Man, that'd be an interesting experiment. Some kid needs to do this for science fair. I bet it's more person dependent than an objective general effect.
Just because you suck at playing color-bombed games, doesn't mean everyone does?
Anyway, I'm betting people that do this though, think it is tasteful, otherwise they wouldn't do it, ha. That was my point.
Quoted from tpir:It is objective. Not sure how you could work on pinball to the degree you do and not know this. The science behind it is pretty simple. Trying to lol it away with "science fair" makes you sound like an idiot, but it's more funny than offensive.
Yeah, my experience is that I've bought games with colored GI, and although they look weird, they don't distract me or affect me when I play. Maybe they weren't color-bombed bad enough though.
There was no "lol" in regard to my "science fair" remark, as the follow-up sentence demonstrates. I was wondering if there's something to it: but a couple of people claiming it is objective and simple science doesn't make it so.
You seem to be taking it way too personally, or your reading comprehension is lacking: The "suck at playing" question was the "lol" comment.
Claiming experience in a dark red room proves something scientifically about playing pinball is incredibly naive, but if that's the "science" you need to explain your poor play on colored-GI machines, okay.
The red room comment does remind me of this fun LED job on T3 below, but it's a rather extreme example that you might actually call monochromatic.
